XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 28, 2004 17:02:35 ET XXXXX
TERROR TAPE WARN OF BUSH, CHENEY CONSEQUENCE; ABC WITHHELD PORTIONS FROM CIA
**Exclusive**
ABCNEWS withheld portions of an alarming new al Qaeda videotape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11 from the CIA when they submitted the video for analysis, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated the tape, federal sources tell DRUDGE. ABCNEWS has been informed of the government's standing.
"What took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America and that our Lord willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about September 11," the man, whose face is covered by a headdress, warns in the video. "After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."
ABCNEWS submitted portions of the video threat to the FBI and CIA on Monday for analysis, top government sources tell DRUDGE, after obtaining the tape from a source in Pakistan.
A top goverment source said from Washington that ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA -- the portion of the tape where the man warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"You are guilty, guilty, guilty. You're as guilty as Bush and Cheney. You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and Ashcroft and Powell...," the man states.
He goes on to warn of an upcoming horror: "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead.
"People of America, that was the verdict now for the sentencing: as participants and partners in the crimes of the regime, you too shall pay the price for the blood that has been spilled."
One ABC source, who demanded anonymity, said Thursday morning, the network was struggling to find a correct journalistic "balance" before airing any story on the video.
"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained.
Relax, folks. The tape will be released one way or another.

Here's hoping another network finds a copy of the tape and scoops the Clymers at ABC.
"Maybe the tape came from a Kinkos in Texas."
You are a genuis! ;-]
ABC uses the same producer as the CSM in Pakistan according to someone earlier on this thread.
"The guy" IS an American.
LOL..how are ya ?
Before we trash ALL of ABC News thaey do employ George Will and they did get the docs from the IAEA showing the tonnage of explosves to be total bunk...

I don't think it's been on Fox yet. They must all be stunned. I would think the media is absolutely stunned by this.
My head is spinning....so much stuff to keep up with!! The MSM is melting before our very eyes!!!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Fantasy Newsconference.....
AG John Aschcroft "The Government through National Technical Means was able to obtain an unedited copy of the tape bought by ABC News....
The tape, delivered to ABC in Islamabad last Sunday by a courier who was paid a $500 transport fee, contains a lengthy Q&A session between "Mr. Amriki" and an off-camera interviewer. It ends with his warning, which cuts off abruptly when the tape runs out.
THANKS A LOT, ABC NEWS. "WE REDACT, YOU DECIDE"
Regrettably, I'm not all that certain that this little propaganda film with its threats will necessarily drive folks to vote Pres. Bush. There are those among us who will react like those Spanish voters.
Bring it, buckwheat, if you are so desirous of discovering what whupass means when you REALLY tick us off.
You want the truth? I'm a bit upset here.........
ABC's affiliates better gird their loins.
Who do you think has it?
After the election and we all celebrate, then we wake up the next day and start going after the corrupt media!
